Introducing Malwarebytes Privacy

Take control of your privacy

Malwarebytes Privacy is a VPN (Virtual Private Network) that looks out for you by serving as a digital middleman between you and the Internet. Your Internet traffic will look like it’s coming from one of our virtual servers – giving you a simple, easy way to take control of your privacy.

Stop hackers everywhere

Whether you’re working from home or using public WiFi, hackers could be trying to steal your data. Malwarebytes Privacy helps keep your connection secure with 256-bit encryption.

Keep lag at bay

Traditional VPNs can slow down your connection. Malwarebytes Privacy uses a newer and faster VPN protocol so you can get all the benefits of a VPN with less lag.

Prevent unauthorized tracking

Advertisers and websites may use your IP address to track your activity across sites. Malwarebytes Privacy can help you stop them by assigning you a virtual IP address.

Switch up your location

Malwarebytes Privacy gives you the ability to make it appear like you’re connecting to the Internet from a different country so you can possibly view new content.

Find a server for any situation

The VPN server you choose affects your speed and online experience. With 200+ servers in 30+ countries, Malwarebytes Privacy makes it easy to find a fast server for your needs.

Connect confidently

Once you’re connected to the VPN server, Malwarebytes Privacy does not retain or log any data related to web traffic, DNS requests, IP addresses, bandwidth or network connections. Learn more

Can this be purchased in my country?

Malwarebytes Privacy is currently only available for purchase with English language support, but you can purchase it for use in most countries where VPNs are not blocked by state-run firewalls.

How does Privacy differ from Malwarebytes Premium?

Malwarebytes Premium replaces antivirus and provides protection on your device against viruses, ransomware and other forms of malware. It can also clean an already infected device. However, it cannot secure your connection on a public WiFi or protect your privacy when you are on a website that is actively collecting your personal data, IP address and geo-location. This is where Malwarebytes Privacy comes in – to protect your connection to the Internet and act as a digital middleman so that hackers and snoops cannot invade your privacy.

I am already a Malwarebytes Premium subscriber; how can I add Privacy to my current subscription? What would be the cost?

You can add Malwarebytes Privacy and your subscription length won’t extend. You’ll simply pay the difference for the remaining time on your subscription.

How do I install it on my computer?

If you have already purchased Malwarebytes Privacy, you should have received an email with activation instructions. More information from Privacy Support. If you are a current Malwarebytes Premium subscriber looking to upgrade, please visit Privacy Upgrade.
